Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 386: Let hope happen (1/3)
When Ian went to the third floor to check the clues in Linda's room and the alchemy laboratory.
Sister Reflecting Light is taking notes for Steward Moda.
It sounds weird—the first level executor of the Huaiguang Church, a nun who is not considered an official clergyman in Huaiguang, how can she have the power to enforce the law, even as a witness in a major case? Tainted witnesses took notes?
But this is actually because the empire has its own national conditions.
Although the empire has its own law enforcement agencies, the emperor alone supervises noble officials, and the agencies that obtain intelligence from other countries include 'Patrolling Knights', 'Noble Tribunal' and 'Mirror Sea Guard', which are completely different and independent of each other Intelligence and Violence Unit.
The "Institute of Truth" and the "Institute of Intellectual Knowledge" that are in charge of managing the ascendants are the two major factions in the empire, and they are constantly wrestling with each other.
But there are relatively few people who are really responsible for dealing with civilian-related issues.
The three departments of 'criminal law', 'jurisprudence' and 'inspector' are generally referred to as 'supervisory court' or 'court', and the executor is called 'supervisor envoy', which is considered to be the imperial official who will deal with civilians Complaints, as well as various civilian criminal and civil cases.
The usual kind of robbery, kidnapping and extortion, and ordinary people killing and fleeing are all sent by the local city's governor's court to hunt down and investigate, and bring the criminals to justice.
But how to say...
Don't say they can't manage it, even if they can manage it, will the local nobles let them manage it?
An example, Port Harrison.
Fourteen years ago, the chief justice of the local Governor's Court was killed by an iron shark, and the second term disappeared without waiting for his appointment. It is estimated that he was eaten by the natives.
From this we can see the status of the Governor's Court within the empire.
And to be honest, even if you really can control it, if there is any major event involved in Terra, it must be related to the sublimator and the psyker!
But one thing, if you have something to do with a sublimator or a psychic, you can accidentally follow a line and find a strong person or a local noble.
Even if the opponent is an ordinary wandering adventurer and mercenary, but the adventurer and mercenary who can live well without being a nobleman's black gloves and make a big mess must be quite skillful .
It's not their turn to take care of things, let them take care of them.
What should I do if I find out something?
If it is found out, the chief of the local supervisory court may have to run over to apologize.
But Huaiguang Church is different.
Generally speaking, Huaiguang Church will not take care of this kind of thing. Although they never care about the local laws and have their own logic to face the world, most of them are neutral and watch everything. It will not interfere with the internal penal system of other countries.
However, if Huaiguang Church really starts to make a move, and finds out something...
Then the ones who should kneel down and apologize are those nobles and local tyrants.
This is the stage now.
The disappearance case in the Agate Stone Plain has already alarmed the Huaiguang Church, but the local inspectorate did not deal with it.
According to the usual practice, even if other law enforcement officers from Nauman City arrive later, they must wait for the Huaiguang Church to deal with the relevant issues before accepting the secondary scene and witnesses they have dealt with.
Moreover, at this time, there is very little room for local law enforcement to operate, and generally they can only close the case according to the clues given by the Huaiguang Church.
Unless they want to overthrow the results of Huaiguang Church.
If they dare.
The reason why Sister Reflecting Light did this was mainly to protect Moda.
Baron Ryan has obviously been charged with a large number of vicious crimes such as 'unprovoked mass murder and hiding corpses', 'illegal human experimentation', 'illegal use of psychic energy to interfere with other people's will', if the investigation continues, there may be a few more 'links' Cult "illegal blood sacrifice" and various charges related to his property.
As someone close to him, the best fate for Manager Moda would be implicated and beheaded, and the worst would be that his whole family disappears.
But he was not guilty.
At least according to the understanding of the Huaiguang Church, Steward Moda just fulfilled all his duties with all his heart, and this duty did not involve the lives of any other people-he just managed the castle for a criminal, because the spiritual power caused Changing his memory, just taking care of the master and young master in his heart.
"Probably so."
After asking about almost all the details, Sister Reflecting Light took back the pen and paper.
She nodded to the decadent and tired old manager: "The transcript is over, don't worry, the local inspector won't do anything to you."
"...Thank you..."
Strengthening his spirit and raising his head, Steward Moda also knew that this time things must be a big mess, Baron Ryan's deprivation of his title was almost a certainty.
It's a trivial matter for him to lose his job, but what should Ryan lead?
The most important...
"What will happen to the master and the young master?"
The old steward asked in a low voice, asking a question he already knew the answer to.
Just a plea for a sliver of hope.
Sister Yingguang thought about it for a while before telling the truth cruelly.
"The baron may be punished by the noble court. The end result may be that he will be sentenced to death as an ordinary person after being deprived of his ascension and noble status. If these children go well, they will be sent to the Huaiguang Church for reform."
Seeing Steward Moda's eyes wide open and hopeful, the dragon girl slowly said: "But if it's too dangerous, we can't let these children continue to live."
"According to your current situation in charge of Moda... Ira's psionic power is a high-level spiritual power that belongs to the control level. Living in the surrounding Sanctuary Shelter.”
"Other children are no exception. Their abilities are suspected of being artificially catalyzed, and all of them are extremely dangerous... As long as they resist, the possibility of their survival is almost zero."
"But..." As if being hit by a heavy hammer, Manager Moda muttered, "Aren't you Huaiguang?"
"Yes, we are Huaiguang." Yingguang responded seriously, and the red sparks flickered in the eyes of the dragon girl, which was the flickering light of the source quality of the fire element, representing the ups and downs of emotions in her heart.
This question has been asked by many people, including old men in ragged clothes, middle-aged people with desperate eyes, and mothers who knelt down and begged for themselves in grief.
They all had hope for Huaiguang.
But Huaiguang is not hope.
Never.
So, facing Steward Moda, she still said in a soft tone: "I know what you mean, Steward Moda. Personally, I sympathize with the experiences of Baron Ryan and his three adopted sons and daughters. But this does not conflict with their committing a great crime.”
"They are indeed pitiful and pathetic, but those who died innocently, just in the handwriting I recorded along the way, there are hundreds of people who died."
"Not to mention, the two children who have disappeared in Chenxia Town in recent weeks, and the "dead" who were 'captured' by the Sharp Claw Tiger in Yijinye Town--they have no parents, no Child, don't you have any relatives?"
"They just said goodbye to their parents and relatives with a smile in the morning, set off to spend a beautiful day, toiled on the earth, and then disappeared from this world inexplicably, crying in fear at home, asking others about their children and their husbands When the wife is located, she becomes a broken specimen in this room..."
"Tragedy breeds more tragedy, and I am deeply saddened by it."
Huaiguang treats everyone equally, and will not think whose life is more important just because someone is more miserable.
What's more, isn't it tragic for those who died innocently?
This is the subtext that Sister Reflecting Light did not say.
"I know...I know my thoughts are evil and injustice...but. But..."
The steward, who was much older than the naked eye, knelt down slowly, hugged his head, and muttered to himself: "I just fell into a coma once, why, the world changed completely in an instant, and my past is like a A false joke..."
Yingguang did not answer this question.
Because psykers have such power... so terrifying.
So.
Some people fear, some people desire.
—Is it an artificial psyker... The water behind this is too deep, and I don't know if the executioner of the temple will arrive in time before Baron Ryan really makes a big mistake...
Then again, it will be very troublesome when it really arrives... I originally thought that Baron Laian was at most a cover-up cultist, and this is within the scope of punishment that Huaiguang Church can handle. The executor defeated the baron, Just transfer it to the relevant department of the empire.
But now the matter is too big. It is so big that the executors of the temple will definitely kill the "evil man"... Once Baron Lean dies, there will definitely be a bunch of imperial departments to come to the point of wrangling, and the clues will also appear. broken.
But...
Someone has to do it.
With this thought in mind, Yingguang stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on the other side's head when facing Steward Moda who was silently bowing his head to him and weeping silently.
The nun's fingertips shimmered, accepting the other party's confession.
She recited the ancient motto softly: "The light of the sky does not penetrate the darkness of the heart, and the sun does not purify the evils of the world."
"We are the apostles of the light, we are the watchmen of the sun, and our mission to walk in the world is by no means to eradicate darkness, nor to sweep away sins..."
"We cherish light... just to make hope happen."
Dum, thump, thump.
Footsteps are heard on the stairs.
Reassuring the spirit of the old man, Yingguang turned her head, and she saw the knight in alchemist armor walking downstairs with a thick stack of documents in his hand.
